How far can you shoot an m16 rifle without a scope?

Answer 1

The bullet will go just as far regardless of what sight you're using. But taking aim will get harder and harder w/o a scope. 300 yards should be doable but Marines are trained to hit targets at 500 yards, it just depends on experience.

Answer 2

The effective range of an M16 rifle is around 550 meters (600 yards) for point targets and around 800 meters (875 yards) for area targets when using iron sights. However, it is important to note that the accuracy and effectiveness of a shot greatly depend on various factors such as the skill of the shooter, weather conditions, and the type of ammunition used.
